Provides an overview of the operation of hybrid heat pump systems and hybrid heat pump geothermal systems, including their energy savings, low electrical consumption, and efficient use of reclaimed heat.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Explain the operation of traditional reversing water source heat pump (WSHP) systems, hybrid heat pump systems, and hybrid heat pump geothermal systems.
- Explain how a hybrid heat pump system maximizes the design advantages and eliminates the design disadvantages of a traditional WSHP system.
- Identify the benefits of hybrid heat pump systems and hybrid heat pump geothermal systems in terms of their energy efficiency and cost savings.
- Detail how hybrid heat pump systems and hybrid heat pump geothermal systems not only conserve energy but also reclaim “waste” heat and use it for a wide variety of heating purposes throughout an entire building.
- Discuss how hybrid heat pump systems and hybrid heat pump geothermal systems provide occupants of a building with year-round comfort (heating or cooling), low sound levels, and dehumidification when required.
